How about using;

 \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #1.0

Here is the code:

\version "2.24.1"

global = {

  \key c \major

  \time 6/8

}

rightOne = \relative c'' {

  \global

  % Music follows here.

  e16 f f dis dis! e 

}

rightTwo = \relative c'' {

  \global

  % Music follows here.

  d16 g, g \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #1.0 d'! \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #1.0 d! g,

}

\score {

 <<

    \new Staff = "right" \with {

      midiInstrument = "acoustic grand"

    } << \rightOne \\ \rightTwo >>

  >>

}
